Also something new for DCIE starting with Ocean Master - When you get the figure there is a code on the back of the white outer mailer box for the download of a free digital comic staring Ocean Master (in this case it's New 52 Aquaman #14). You also get this on the upcoming Ra's Al Ghul and Batzarro figures (for difference comics staring each character).

Other than the paint scheme, this is the same figure from the History of the DCU line (DC Direct), so perhaps that & the apathy towards Mattel these days is why a sell out wasn't immediate (if it even has done so yet, IDK).

No, it isn't. The articulation is different (and superior). The DCD figure is also in a slightly different scale. I own the original and while I loved the paint scheme, I hated just about everything else.

It is the same character, not the same figure.

All I was saying is that people who have the figure from the other line may not feel they need to get Mattel's version.

Ocean Master here,It's been a week and I'm STILL FOR SALE. I'm the only item left from the 10/15 sale. Did Matty make too many of me, have people stopped buying with the sub not going through, what gives? This could be awful news for Batzarro...
